“And Stealth growled at me for not holding back … I did as Lexx wanted.” Sirius grumbled suddenly.
“Thank you, Sirius.” Serenity whispered. The four dice sat in silence for a moment, contemplating their situation and the loyalty they felt to their keeper. It was complicated. They understood Lexx. He might not be as open and caring as Chel was, but he did care about them. He had commanded them to attack him and not hold back. Most of them had held back, but Lexx had not. He had asked them to hurt him. Only Sirius had taken the challenge to its full extent and now he was laying in the grass slowly bleeding into unconsciousness.
Had they held back to avoid hurting Lexx or themselves? Had they held back on the requests of Stealth over Lexx? She had insisted they hold back to keep Lexx from leveling too fast, but in doing so, were they also hurting his chances of defeating whatever trap Trasik had in store for him? Did they trust Lexx … or Stealth?
“Maybe we shouldn’t always listen to Stealth.” Swiftpaw finally said what all of them were thinking. Sometimes, it was better to think for themselves than do what Stealth wanted. Dash and Swiftpaw had always given more weight to what Stealth had to say than any other dice. Now that confidence had been shaken and challenged. They all felt guilty for doubting Lexx.
On the other side of the privacy hedge, Stealth had arrived just in time to hear Swiftpaw. Riley and a small team of medics were coming to help with Sirius. What she heard did not please her. She needed the dice to listen to her. After all, she knew what was best for all of them, whether they fully understood it themselves or not.

Stealth is gonna be pissed… oh by the way, you have a spelling error up there. 🙂
BarGamer
Yeah, I almost missed it, too. “Shouldn’t” should not be spelled that way! XD
PS: DRAAAAMA!

mabey stealth wont be angry.
mabey she will have confidance isses.
she could just feel very upset.
i dont think she did anything wrong, she trys to look after other the dice.

Listen to Stealth some of the time? Sure. 100% of the time without question? No. She may be smart, but nobody’s perfect.
And personally, I’m not sure holding back would have prevented much in the way of wounds.

hehe “Shoudln’t”
Awww swiftpaw is the bestest dice, I love foxes and you make him the best!
Stealth is not a happy dice at that comment…

I .. can’t wait to change Dash’s coloration – why in the world did I ever do that?! It looked neat, but it’s a pain to DO.

Does this mean Dash will roll soon? If so, I can’t wait to see his new form.
And Stealth looks quite annoyed.
Zealith
I think he’s at his highest level, wasn’t he? That’s why he had that glitch before.
Tiff
He’s at 5 right now. He still has to go to 6.

I just hope the dice don’t lose who they are. As much as Stealth loves Chel she probably feels ashamed of getting both her and Chel involved in Lexx’s game.

Stealth is not really the best leader for the dice, oddly enough Sirius would be a better choice. More restrained and reasoned. Sirius also understands what Lexx is doing. He did not want to fight, but, he did anyways, as best he can. Because he knows what Lexx wants to do, and trusts Lexx.
Personaly I do hope he will be allright, I would rather miss him if he died. ANd yes, I have to agree, Swiftpaw I just wanna pick up and hug, poor winged fox.

@ Omniscia:
But stealth does have one advantage – a true awareness of what lexx is thinking, and the ability to look at it without the passion that lexx is feeling in the moment.
